POLK CITY, IOWA-- One Polk City six year-old will play a big role in the CyHawk game Saturday.

Harper Stribe is suiting up for a fight on the football field. She said, "I get to walk on the field with one of the players."

She'll serve as the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital's kid captain for Saturday's showdown against the Hawkeyes and Cyclones. She's already tackled a battle of her own. "My cheek was really big, and I needed to go to the doctor to see what it was," said Harper.
